Things not to do here

Things not to do that I learned here.

1. Don't money shift, but if you ever do, don't pretend you didn't.
2. If you are a lot younger and happen to have a F8x, don't brag.

Anything else?

Same thing can be said to all the women who give birth young. Stop showing off your baby, nobody cares!

I think people have a tendency to show off their kids regardless of the age they've had them at. Also not really sure how that's relevant to the topic at hand, unless we young baby-havers have offended your sensibilities so greatly you can't contain yourself.

On topic, the amount of money shifting threads in this forum alone is enough to deter me from thinking about a manual. Petrified. I've also learned that you shouldn't get LEDs, apparently.

Show off is just a big part of human nature, but when it becomes too much it could piss off someone for sure! It's quite entertaining to observe social media how ppl keep showing off-in the name of what they "love"- their pets, babies, bf/gf,...but not many wives/husbands (lol).

Couldn't the risk of money shifting be one of the thrill factors for having an MT?

Yeah apparently, we might have to add that "don't get LED" to the list. I coded euro LED and it's really awesome seeing the way high beams dancing though.

Get the manual, just don't use the car to overcompensate for your minuscule wiener. We two always lose that race.

You young grasshopper will do fine.

No one at any age should brag about having a m4, not just young ppl. There's a big difference if someone paid cash for it and leasing. I'm 22 and worked hard to afford my expensive hobbies, and I don't think there's anything wrong with being proud to own an amazing car like f8x. I certainly don't run around telling ppl what i drive.

I actually abhor the "here's 14 pictures of my kid doing the exact same thing!!" trend, and very rarely show off the mini-mes, I just wasn't sure why people who had kids young were the specific targets of his ire. Funny point on the spouses...

I will get LEDs only if I can code them to create my own moving disco strobe show. At least then I can provide mobile entertainment until I inevitably money shift and blow up.

Ugh, but my schlong is tiny. I figured with DCT no one will guess - the M3 is so subtle otherwise.

Don't ever. EEEEEVV AAAAAR! Say those dirty 3 letters, on these boards. And I don't mean AMG! No, no, noooo .... not LED either. I'm talking about AWD! Oooops! Did it again!

If you can't friggin' drive your M3 in the snow on your summer tires, then you are a lame excuse of a driver. And obviously you should sell it and get an SUV with studded snow tires and a hitch, so we can tow you out of the inevitable ditch, because you're still an idiot driver.

BTW, other taboo phrases excluded from common vocabulary on M3 forums in the past used to include: "turbo charged", and before that it used to be "electric power steering", and before that it was "V8", and before that it was "convertible", and before that it was "automatic", and before that we did not say "M3 sedan", and so on and so forth.

But I still don't think they will ever make an AWD M3. Impossible!!!!

You don't know what hard work is.

BTW I'm 18 and I didn't work a day in my life...I'm just rich I guess.

I don't understand how people are money shifting......I find it literally impossible to do that unless you are a complete moron and have absolutely no idea how to drive a stick shift car.

It's just an interesting pattern I've been observing--- Someone writes a post which is completely ordinary except one line: "I am xx years old and..." Then as soon as there comes any hint of weakness he shows.. Aren't we here to share information or our love/hate about cars regardless of age, gender, nationality, size of sausage/buns and so on...? To me it looks absurd and unnecessary to include such personal thing that can be translated into "i am better than you" to someone.

You sir nailed it all. If you ever need an internet friend, I'd like to volunteer.

I did it twice already.. in my dreams.

I think it's highly unlikely during a sprited driving because of enhanced awareness, but if one has a weird habit of revving high during highway cruising, he might think he was going from 1 to 2 instead of 3 to 4 and make it happen if distracted by something like NAVI/phone...
